OK.

Thank you. I've been doing both, so it would save time and cycles to do only
one of them.
Additionally, Josh, thank you for using different terms ("testing" and
"verifying") for the two functions. Over in the Monkey's Audio universe,
Matthew Ashland has dubbed both of them "verifying." I propose further that,
when it comes to sharing audio in FLAC format, we use "validating" for
checking FLAC files against a file of MD5 sums and "certifying" for comparing
the fingerprints of our tested FLACs to those posted by the seeder.
